The Ultimate Kid-Friendly Shark Week Guide & Giveaway

It is Shark Week! We love shark week in our home. We look forward to it every year, it’s a big part of our summer break. One thing I have noticed though is that it’s not all kid-friendly. My 8-year-old always wants to be involved but can’t watch all of the Shark Week shows so I like to add in some fun activities and things that she will love. It gives me a chance to add in some education as well. We love the ocean in our home so it’s always fun when we can teach our kids about sharks and the ocean. I have put together the Ultimate Kid-Friendly Shark Week Guide with some fun books, movies, games, gear, and recipes. Hope you enjoy it. Make sure to scroll to through we have a great giveaway with some really awesome prizes.

We love to read so we added some fun Shark themed books to our Summer reading list for Shark Week. We picked up these great titles from Quarto Knows including:

Shark Week Must-Have Movie:

If your kiddos are too young to watch the Shark Week on Discovery then check out this fun shark-themed move from NCircle Entertainment. We love Octonauts so we were super excited to check out their new title Calling All Sharks. It fit in great with our shark themed week!

Shark Week Must-Have Gear:

Janiebee will be keeping us comfy all week with their great shark week gear. They have a great shark themed 3 piece set that includes a nap mat, backpack, and luck sack. It’s the perfect accessories for Shark Week. Lay on your nap mat while reading your books and watching shark week. Pack your books, movies, and more away in your backpack. Pack all your fun shark week snacks in your lunch sack! So cute!!

Shark Week Must-Have Game:

If you read our blog then you know that we have a family game night every week. So we had to find us a shark game. We found this awesome fun-filled game from Pressman Toys called Shark Bite. See if you can evade the shark’s bite while having a fun family game night. The anticipation will keep you on the edge of your seat as you dive into fun with this great game.

My daughter is six years old and just discovered shark week. She was enthralled watching the great white sharks doing their thing. It terrifies me! Lol! Seriously,sharks have scared me since I was her age and saw Jaws! I will watch it with my Scarlett every year now. She enjoyed it so much. We popped popcorn and drew the sharks we saw on her blackboard. Love that child!!!!
